As A CEO, I Tried The "Work From Anywhere" Model — Here's What I Learned
The CEO of the manufacturing company, Clearfield, shares some valuable lessons learned on implementing a work-from-anywhere model.
What are the key considerations for a successful work-from-anywhere model?
Companies should prioritize high-speed broadband access, ensure that employees have appropriate workspace to maintain productivity and health, and encourage flexibility in travel plans. It's also important to avoid overpacking and to bring necessary tools for work rather than leisure.
How can companies improve their work-from-anywhere experience?
Lessons include starting with shorter trips to gauge comfort levels, ensuring adequate vacation time to balance work and leisure, and being prepared to adjust plans as needed. Each experience can provide insights that help refine the approach for future attempts.
What role does the office still play in a work-from-anywhere model?
The office continues to play an important role, as not all positions can function effectively outside of it. While remote and hybrid options can attract talent, management approval is essential to ensure that the work-from-anywhere model aligns with company needs and employee roles.
